Laurels for RMI
The ship registry of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) has achieved a ranking in the top three on the white list of the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), as reflected in the Paris MoU’s Annual Port State Control Report, released on 1 July 2021. Currently, it is the only large registry ranked in the top ten this year.
International Registries and its affiliates (IRI) provide administrative and technical support to the RMI Registry and have had to develop innovative solutions during this year of significant global challenges, which prevented typical inspection regimes and crew changes.
Brian Poskaitis, IRI’s senior vice president, fleet operations, said: "It is our duty to be visible, approachable and accessible, with an experienced team of technical professionals to support our owners and operators, especially in times of global challenge.” (cd)
